  • pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 25 13:12:27 2025
    Trump says he hasn't considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, but 'I'm
    allowed to do it' https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-says-hasnt-considered-pardoning-ghislaine-maxwell-allowed-rcna221080

    Did Trump engage with under age females on Jeffrey Epstein's island is
    the question, not if criminal or not.

    Epstein's island is mentioned as "private," which might suggest no
    legal US jurisdiction.

    Doesn't the US have laws specifically targetting leaving the US to
    engage in sex with minors, as a way to prosecute sex tourism in Asia?

    "...permanent residents from traveling from the United States to a

    or paying a child for sex."

    foreign country

    Was Epstein's island "private" and not part of U.S. Virgin Islands?

    His "subjects" arrived on U.S. "soil" but were transferred to his
    private island.

    "Well, I don't want to talk about that," Trump said initially.

    When pressed, he said, "It's something I haven't thought about," while conspicuously adding, "I'm allowed to do it."

    I haven't thought about

    He would fully be aware of Ghislaine Maxwell, and most likely,
    considered "options." Highly unlikely he was a Boy Scout.
